   RETURNING TO EVE?We are currently living in: 1DQ1-A (DELVE) Had stuff in Deklein? Click here to find out how to get your poo poo back! Welcome to EVE Online: Space Opera as performed by Schizophrenics, Con-Artists, and Cult Leaders!  What is EVE Online? Variously described as “Spreadsheets in space”, “A worst-in-class PvE experience”, “Sociopaths Online”, and “The game for the Nerds who are to Nerds what Nerds are to Normal People”; EVE Online is a thirteen year old sci-fi sandbox MMO published by vikings from an island that smells, by all accounts, of farts and rotting fish. In spite of having more than earned their forum emote,  continues to develop probably the most compelling experiences in gaming. Eve is unique in its single-sharded world. In other MMOs, servers are sharded to help balance load and otherwise scale the game. Eve takes place on a single server (unless you live in China.) Because of this, every mistake you make and every enemy you make are there to haunt you forever. Friendships and rivalries in Eve do not disappear, making things like “politics” and “diplomacy” actually matter. That game takes place in a fully realised sci-fi universe, consisting of thousands of solar systems, interlinked by a web of interstellar jump-gates and divided into three concentric zones:
This cycle of creative-destruction, and the ability to trade game time purchased for real money as an in-game commodity, creates a vibrant and meaningful sense of consequence and value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kED11aGobUk Why should I play EVE Online? EVE is beautiful, EVE is rewarding, and EVE is deeply social. It’s beautiful:       It’s rewarding in the depth and complexity of its mechanics; The breadth of experiences (some intended by the developers, many not) can be overwhelming at times. It’s the only game where War-Leader, Diplomat, Industrial Monopolist, Combat Photographer, Scam Artist, Day Trader, Messianic Cult Figure, Long-Haul trucker, Provocateur, Propagandist, and Spy are roles fully fleshed out and engaged in meaningful competition. Mastery of a role takes curiosity, skill, and dedication. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdfFnTt2UT0 At its core, what really makes EVE is that it is a deeply social experience. Reliable friends and knowledgeable mentors make the most daunting challenges manageable. Jealousy, greed, and bitter rivalries create struggle and competition more meaningful than any game designer can script. The ever evolving tapestry of nebulous trust, rank betrayals, and alliances of convenience is one of the richest histories and mythologies in videogames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDVEHE10nHc Goonswarm Federation: GoonWaffe  What is GoonWaffe? GoonWaffe is our engine of economic, political, and military domination. A baroque construct of weaponized space-socialism intended to give you, the common goon, immediate access to everything that EVE has to offer. Our worker’s paradise is built on the shattered remains of those who would deny Goons a place in New Eden. Over a decade of pubbie tears grease the treads of our war-machine. We have gathered the hard-won lessons of our often incompetent and comical bumbling, and dedicated them to sanding off EVE’s rough edges, mentoring newbees, and making the experiences that set EVE apart as immediate and accessible as possible. Things to do in GoonWaffe

Generally we're not going to give a poo poo about corporation history by itself. The main thing is if you're on the blacklist or not, and ending up on the blacklist means you were part of us in the past and hosed up or hosed goons, typically. You have to be a colossal, public jackass to get on the blacklist while never having been in the corp before.

ZekeNY posted:"Remove Jump Freighters, Introduce Force Freighters" It's amazing how little foresight those nerds have. Every single military force in this game is utterly reliant on jump freighters to wage any kind of war. If they were removed, guess what group would be best in place to continue to wage war without them?

gwrtheyrn posted:Mining has always been very scalable, and mining was already a decent income activity even before rorquals. It's just goons are dumb and like to repeat stale memes about how mining is/was bad until the most obvious broken poo poo that was rorqual mining on initial release combined with the prior capital rebalance smacked them over the head. It wasn't quite as good as carrier ratting which was the flavor of the month, but it was pretty competitive with ishtar ratting for a good year or two before we lost deklein, but again goons are dumb and can't do math nah, we'd already eliminated the stigma around mining before rorquals were even a thing it wasn't rorquals that did it, it was CCP nerfing those AFK chimeras you were talking about we had dudes multiboxing barges when we were trying to make money in the bits of pure blind we'd clawed back prior to our exit from the north

In terms of things happening, we're jamming our thumbs into the eyesockets of the people currently squatting in the north, having thoroughly and repeatedly embarrassed them in supercap fights.

Hello Sailor posted:Kinda tempted to play this again so I can shoot NPC space pirates and run and hide whenever an enemy player comes into system. I haven't played since we were in Deklein (sp?), but I think I still have a bunch of stuff in Delve from the first time we took it over. That's the system we took from BoB, right? Correct. One wrinkle: they converted all the old conquerable stations and outposts into unanchorable/destroyable versions earlier this year. I don't THINK we've unanchored any, and I know we haven't lost any, but in the case that the station isn't there any more, you'll be able to retrieve your stuff in Irmalin after paying an impound fee, thanks to the game's new Asset Safety feature.

To put a finer point on the jump-capable ship thing, CCP arbitrarily decided that they would never allow GMs to move a ship with a jump drive for returning players. Curiously, they instituted this rule at the exact same time that we were getting rolled out of the north by out-of-game-casino backed entities.

Landsknecht posted:that entire war was cancer, with either massive tidi or tossing the difference between B-R5 and the casino war is that after B-R5, we (extremely stupidly and deliberately) let NCPL go, whereas in the casino war we all just sat in range of each other for 5 months and then we were allowed to leave due to sheer neglect on the part of hostiles like seriously we jumped the remnants of our supercap fleet to a single asshouse in ashitsu, how hard would it have been to drop on that and just erase us forever

CainFortea posted:Pretty sure the latest titan deaths are all up to Killah Flee. "Guys, goons totally won't show up for the hull timer" I really don't know why they even showed up for the hull timer. The smart thing to do would have been to just let it die. The armor timer showed that we were willing to bleed, and everyone knows we can accept a higher degree of attrition than they could. Maybe if NCdot had gotten PL to do their move op during the weekend, and get some actual numbers out of them, it might have been a better chance of actually accomplishing something, but apparently NCdot didn't break the glass on the case containing the special kneepads and bib until that Monday. Poor Hedliner, having to do three cross-galactic move ops for a single titan kill.

Ad by Khad posted:Oh, I elected to not sit in theta. Or goonswarm. Or eve. yeah if theta was grossing you out then you wouldn't stand a chance anywhere else, poo poo is so much worse outside the walls Praxis Prion posted:Looking to get into this again. Haven't played in about 6 years, and I didn't do much other than some scamming and a few ops here and there. I must have set a long skill queue before I quit playing last time, because I have all these skills at V and I know drat well I didn't sit around waiting for that poo poo back in the day. I came back to this character with 10M SP and the game won't let me train any more since I'm past the alpha limit. It looks like I have around 500m isk, a 500 plex in Jita, and a bunch of ships up to a battlecruiser and crap still in Deklein. Is it worth trying to move any of that stuff? you can use asset safety to teleport your poo poo to lowsec, but then you'd need to figure out how to get it out of lowsec also it takes 21 days to cook so that might not be within the limits of your patience

Philonius posted:What's the situation right now in terms of fights? Right now we're deployed to the north to gently caress with the squatters in Fade and Pure Blind (maybe Deklein later? Who knows.) We have a forward staging keepstar in 6RCQ, so if you put a jump clone there (or just sit there all the time if you really want) you oughta be able to catch some fleet action. Fights that are "sit in 1% TIDI" generally happen over a keepstar siege, and there's plenty of fights going on that don't involve that. Most of them are erasing tons of Muninns. This is hilarious because T2 cruisers use a lot of moongoo, and we pretty much own the entire T2 production chain, meaning that all the ships they bought are putting money into the pockets of our guys.

Yeah, the way I play Eve is to sit logged off 99.9% of the time with the occasional bit in Jabber, then log in when poo poo Gets Real in space. Then again, I'm space affluent enough not to need to grind for ISK all the time, so YMMV.

The evemon fork goes with the latter. Plus, if you change your password, all the characters on that account have their ESI credentials revoked automagically.

And, yeah, DJ had a big gay babby meltdown, goatse'd the forums, and ran off in a huff to make his own corporation back when we were getting rolled out of the north in an attempt to siphon out all the TRUE BLOOD GOONS. CCP even renamed the old, inaccessible Goonfleet corporation to "Old Goonfleet," altering the corporation histories of every character, and renamed his corporation "Goonfleet" for about 6 hours or so before it got reversed. It was a very strange time. Later DJ sold out his corporation for a vouch into Pandemic Legion.

TheQuietWilds posted:so whats the basic situation right now, last time I played we had just beaten up reddit and taken their fancy moons. I guess we lost Dek? Does the not-actually-in-goonswarm Wormhole group still exist? I assume it imploded in some sort of drama eventually. Is now a good time to come back? Are our semi-afk Ishtar armies still plagued by two douchebags in uncatchable interceptors? The wormhole group fell apart because they were denied SRP for a Falcon. We did indeed lose Deklein. We went back to Delve, and now rather than lots of ishtars ratting, there are lots and lots and lots of supercarriers ratting, and lots x10 of rorquals mining (they were changed to be really good at mining and with a beastly local tank + divine shield.) Because Delve is so packed together, we can cover a shitload of territory inside of a supercapital umbrella. Recently we killed 72 dreadnoughts trying to bait out supercarriers. Our economy is peerless and we're currently jamming our thumbs into the eyesockets of the folks who ended up squatting in the north as buffer between us and NCdot/PL's holdings in Tribute, Vale, Tenal, and Geminate. There are plenty of fleets all the time in our forward staging and plenty of opportunities to unironically rat/mine yourself a titan so it's free, so if either of those appeal to you,

RattiRatto posted:Why did you make me start this game again why Yeah, they got moved. Outposts got converted to destructible "Fortizar" structures. Since the outpost your stuff was in got unanchored or destroyed, your stuff entered Asset Safety and got moved to the nearest lowsec station. Unfortunately you can't move those wraps out of the station -- you'll have to pay a fee to get access to them and then break the wrap to get your poo poo.
